Mallard Blue Cedar Chest -SOLD

 
This lovely Lane cedar chest is a real gem. The exterior needed a little TLC but in inside was immaculate and it STILL HAS THE KEY! This is rare... really really rare.
We painted this one using Olde Century Paints Simulated Milk Paint. For some pieces we feel like it gives us more solid coverage and covers up imperfections quicker... plus its a great colour! The dark navy would look great in a boys room, family room or even as bathroom storage. You can pretty much use it anywhere. You probably can find a place for it :)

Pretty Turquoise Tall Dresser - SOLD

The pretty little dresser was a great yard sale find! We found it at an old place in the outskirts of Dundas and it was in pretty terrible shape... I really need to start get more before shots. Someone had already started to refinish this piece but I should use the term refinish loosely. The veneer had been peeled off in random haphazard chunks, the hardware was missing and there were no drawer stops. It took some time and elbow grease but we finally removed what was left of the veneer, patched and glued all the other places and VOILA! I love this dresser. The little accents on side and the turned legs are what sold us and we just knew it had great potential. The finished product has been painted with Homestead House's Niagara Green milk paint, distressed and then sealed and protected with all natural hemp oil.
 
Measures 30 inches wide x 18 1/2 inches deep x 43 1/2 inches high.
 
You can find this piece on Kijiji.
